Canada has ruled out amnesty for illegal aliens. Why was the decision made? Because, surprise!, it would encourage more illegal aliens to come. If you give stuff away for free more people will show up for it. It's not rocket science.
Illegal aliens in Canada, and their supporters, are disappointed. They have been lobbying for amnesty for six years and claim they are only doing the "jobs Canadians won't to do".
The article includes a sob story about a family of illegal aliens who have been "hiding out" and working there for over 7 years waiting around for an amnesty. The father says they live in fear of being discovered and goes on to say “This is not a good way to live,”
My response to him "Then leave!" It never surprises me how many times I've heard the argument that we need a guest worker program or amnesty because illegal aliens live in fear of being discovered. They should live in fear, they're breaking the law. We as citizens of a nation, whether it be the United States or Canada, should not have to bend over backwards for somebody who decided not to follow the law and proper channels to come to our countries legally.
This article is biased in favor of illegal aliens, you can tell by the tone. Saying things like "Toiling away" when referring to doing a job that citizens of Canada also do. I bet when they refer to Canadians doing those jobs they don't refer to it as "toiling away".

Ottawa has ruled out amnesty for the estimated 200,000 undocumented workers toiling in Canada's underground economy, saying it would not be fair to those who have applied legally and are waiting in line, according to a letter obtained by The Globe and Mail.
Allowing illegal workers to stay would likely “encourage more illegal immigration,” noted Linda Arseneau of Citizenship and Immigration Canada's ministerial enquiries division in an Oct. 18 letter to the Universal Workers Union.
“Even a small increase in the number who decide to come here and stay here illegally based on the hope of regularization would simply recreate the very problem the proposal is supposed to fix,” the letter says.
Good for you Linda! Don't be fooled by these "lobbyists".
